Aston Villa claimed a much needed win as they beat Sunderland 1-0 at the Stadium of Light , it was only their second win of the season and manager Paul Lambert was a relieved man after the match and he described it as a `massive performance` from his players after the game .

Man Utd repaced Chelsea at the top of the Premier League after beating Arsenal 2-1 at Old Trafford , it was a comfortable enough win and could even afford a missed penalty by Wayne Rooney , a goal conceded with the last kick of the game was
not enough to spoil the day for Sir Alex Ferguson or the home fans as Man Utd continued their dominant record over the Gunners .
